I’ve never been a fan of pre-season rankings. It just seems unfair to judge teams before they’ve played a single game. After all, unless you have ALL returning starters, it is impossible to know where the holes will be and if a team can overcome those gaps.

Today, Rivals.com started their 2009 countdown, looking at all 120 teams. We won’t get to see number 1 (cough Florida cough) until mid-August, but today they announced numbers 116 – 120. In other words, the worst five teams in college football. Who’s on that list?
- North Texas
- Idaho
- Western Kentucky
- Eastern Michigan
- Tulane
Personally, getting a horrible ranking like that would make me want to work harder to prove them wrong if I was a player on one of those teams. Still, it’s a little deflating to hear that you’re expected to be bad. Really bad.
Good luck to all the teams and players listed as the worst of the worst. I hope you prove them all wrong. Just remember…someone had to be #120…
